How We Met

Bought him out of pity, even though skin and bones, there was just something about him, I couldn't resist when I stopped in to see him and he came over and put his head on my shoulder. Finally found Steven's Natural Horsemanship and everything finally started coming together for us. He is a Holstiener/Sadd- lebred/Morgan/? crossbred and is a lot of horse for an old lady to ride. (See more pics below).

Glad everybody is snug. Is it still windy? 27 here this am but calm. I'd better get out and feed their hay asap. I've been soaking their alfalfa cubes in hot water lately, more for the sake of my hands than for them, lol. Well, hope to knock out a lot of shopping today. Ugh, I hate shopping. Oh well, have a great friday and stay warm.

Thank you all for your support of my son's service and supporting my prayers that he'll be stationed close to me. Never thought, when I held him as a baby, that the day would come when he'd end up a world away. So many of you understand. It's not always the service, but life, itself, that destines us to live away from them. I'm at peace, because of God and His hand of protection over all who and that I love. Love, hugs and a vote.

How are Cisco and the girls? Have they had some drier weather lately? How did Bo's blanket fit this year? Not much going on here. I haven't done hardly any Christmas shopping (and I have a lot of people to buy for) and I have a lot of other errands as well, so I doubt there will be much horse time through the holidays. But I'll enjoy any I can get. Hope you have a great Thursday.

Hi Cisco, here's a vote for ya. Well that snow that started last night amounted to about 2.5 inche of wet heavy snow! It took my Dish Network out last night, so no TV! Made it an early night to bed! It was slick and slippery this morning walking to the barn. On the bright side, temps went up to about 46 degrees and most of it melted! Managed to get them to the barn, free lunged Indy. Then lunged Paige and did showmanship. Everyone got a good grooming too! Love ya, Marion and the blondes.

Hi Cheryl, wow 20s is chilly! We are chilly here too, but to me chilly is in the 40s and 30s lol. I hope you're having a great week! I was able to stop by and see Koot after work on Thursday and then take him out on Sunday. He had fun and got to run and roll. I hate this time of year because I feel like I only get to see Koot once a week :( voted. XOXO Danya and Koot

I hear you on planning things so you don't have to cook supper. Your lunch spot sounds good, and it was probably fun to have a girls lunch with your friend. Are you still getting Blue Apron? Yeah, might have to let Bo's blanket out a little. Glad she's doing so much better this year. She should be, huh, with all the fancy feed you've been giving her. How's her arthritis doing? How are the BOT wraps doing? The rains moved out yesterday about noon, we've had almost 2 inches in 2 days. I haven't heard how the fires are doing, but things have surely got to be better, if not out, at least contained and not spreading. The horses look a sight with their muddy shaggy coats. But they still give me calf eyes for their hay, I'm sure you know the look, lol. Well, off to work today. Hope you have a great hump-day.

Hi Cisco, here's a vote for ya. Yep got together 7 more items for show outfits to give to Jill next weekend! Well had the farrier out today to shoe Paige and trim Indy. We had a discussion about how short he was from last trim and sore, and of course he says not his fault! Well when I brought him out of his stall to be trimmed, he says, he don't have any foot! Yeah hello! So he just rounded him off and said he was sorry and he'll be doing him from now on, not the apprentice! And it was no charge, it better have been, cause it took all of less than 5 minutes to round him off! Later on I got them out to the indoor for a run. They were both fine. Now I just went to feed and we've got over an inch of snow on the ground and it's coming down hard, heavy wet snow! They are saying 2 to 4 inches! I've had it already with winter and it's not even officially here! Love ya, Marion and the blondes.

Hi & a vote,Leaving a vote. We have new neighbors that have a hound-type dog. Blue & Shiva are still getting used to it. I finally got them to sit quietly at the fence when the other dog was baying with it's fur standing up.

Looks like they're saying low to mid 20s thur, fri, sat here too. Hope it kills a bunch of fireants, but I doubt it, they'll just go deeper again, blast em. They're everywhere. One of my cats pees everywhere except the litter box and the other one is old and needs the litter box every half hour, so they both spend the night in the bathroom where all of their necessaries are. I've thought about letting my little dog sleep with me, but I feel safer having her out in the den as a burgler alarm of sorts. She raises a ruckus at every little sound. Glad Buddy is mixing into the household and happy. It's been too wet to do any horse stuff other than feed, but they enjoyed apples and peppermints last night to celebrate being HOTD. Thanks so much for all the votes over the years. Hope you have a great tuesday.

Wow, December 5th already! This year has flown by. Today marked the 16th anniversary of my son joining the Air Force. So proud of him. Praying he'll be stationed near me next spring. Been so hard missing him so much. Love and a vote.

Hi Cisco, here's a vote for ya. Going to go through my other gooseneck trailer and dig out more old show outfits to bring to the XMAS party in 2 weeks and give to Jill for the 4-H kids. Well got some errands down this morning, like getting to the other end of shopping at a different Walmart and making up my Christmas cards. Went to the bank, farrier coming tomorrow and cash means no tax paid to him! Got home and got Paige and Indy lunged with just enough time to shower and get to the Chiropractor for an adjustment. Got home and gave them hay and fresh water and called it a day and came in and still worked on defrosting from the cold weekend standing still in her indoor for like 6 hours straight! Love ya, Marion and the blondes.

We are getting heavy amounts of rain after being dry for so long. Pasture is flooded. Farrier is coming out today to do their hooves. We have our supply of hay for the winter...(24 round bales). Temps are dropping, horses will need their blankets on Thursday. Stay warm and dry everyone.

Wow, I've never seen TSC that busy either. Sounds like it was the place to be. I always see folks in my local feed and seed or at TSC that look like the kind we can relate to, but I never see them anywhere else, like the grocery store or Walmart. I always wonder why, surely they eat too, lol. The low 20s? Brrrr. Yep, Bo will want her PJ's that night. It rained all day yesterday, thank goodness, and stayed about 40 degrees, kinda raw. I'm sure my crew hated it. Looks like we may have more moving in this evening or tomorrow. Im so grateful. But it is muddy, so won't be riding or doing much outside. Guess I'll have to be domestic, ugh. I don't do well in captivity, lol. Hope you have a great start to your week.

Hi Cisco, here's a vote for ya. Oh yeah, I can relate to the 20's in temp! They are calling for snow tomorrow morning and early afternoon here! And of course I have the chiropractor for myself! We'll see! Well washout at the tack sale today. Made a whopping $6. Oh well, did donate a pair of boots and a showmanship outfit to the South Jersey 4-H club. Everyone was donating stuff they just got tired of lugging from sale to sale and didn't sell! So they made out with everything from very high end show outfits, to a silver show halter and chaps, and so much more! Packed up early and went to lunch with a friend that shows with us, well her daughter does, Jill is close to my age, nice to have an adult to talk with about trainer issues! LOL! Love ya, Marion and the blondes.

Hi Cisco, here's a vote for ya. First let me say, my email at 6:15 had me in tears. We are all sorry to hear of the loss of Charlie Bubbles, beloved equine partner of Donna Lee! Our Prayers go out to her! Just a few weeks ago the loss of Dear Cheryl's beloved Nugget, and now Charlie! So sad! On a lighter side, I did sell 4 items today at the tack sale netting $113.00. So that made me feel good. Back over tomorrow and see if I can't see a few more things. It was cold in the indoor and after a few hours I was feeling it, know to use my BOT long johns for sure tomorrow! Got home by 3:30 and gave the horses some hay for lunch and fresh water. Now in the house trying to defrost! LOL! Love ya, Marion and the blondes.

CONGRATS!Cisco on you December HOTM win! So very happy for you! Enjoy your month in the spotlight!~~~~~

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been away so long. I haven't been on since my retirement, I think. I know I've missed out on a lot of news. Hope all is well with each of you and your horses. Sorry to hear that HC will be closing down. I do enjoy hearing all the horse stories. My heard and I are doing well. Just been catching up on a lot of work that needed to be done. I am loving the extra time with my herd. Praying you all have a blessed holiday. Leaving votes all around.

My heart and prayers are with Donna Lee and Sterl May today after their tragic loss of Charlie Bubbles. He was euthanized early this morning due to colic. The vet had been out several times and he continued to get worse.

Glad everybody is enjoying the party treats. What's not to love, huh? Be careful, they'll come to expect it every day, lol. Yeah, it really helps out financially to trim my own horses, plus, I've discovered that I'll trim them more often than I could line someone else up and pay them to trim. And I do enjoy it, it's kind of a mix of science and art. Well, gotta ton to do today, so I'd better get in gear. Hope you have a great weekend.

A Vote for You!!Congratulations on winning such a great honor...Horse of the Month. So what plans do you plan on making....perhaps have a long talk with Mother Nature, and maybe "ordering" carrots and apples for all members of Horse Channel....my horses "made" me write that part. Hope your pasture party goes well for the next 30 days ...or more.

Hi King Cisco, here's a vote for ya. Did you have that big carrot and treats party? Oh yeah, you did, but I heard that your ate more than the ladies did! LOL! Well another deceiving day weather wise. Started out sunny and that fell to pieces! But I did get hay to the barn. Got them lunged! And got the truck all packed with my goodies that are going to be for sale at the tack sale at Marissa's! Refilled all the boxes in the garage with dry wood, so there's a couple of days supply again if it gets to raining hard. Which they are talking about now for next Tues thru Thurs! With a mix of snow! Not happy! Love ya, Marion and the blondes.

how did that pasture party turn? GREAT I'm sure :) It is that time of year that it is hit or miss on riding. I thought we may be able to ride Sunday afternoon but now that it is Friday it is looking like that won't happen :( I am off work the next 3 days. Deacon has his annual shots and checkup on Monday. I will remind them to split the shots to make it less hurtful and keep him from being sore on one side. I dewormed him on Wednesday and he had his hooves trimmed last week so he is good to go when ever this weather allows us some riding time. Have a wonderful weekend ♡

Before I went to "club horse", I thought that with all you've been through lately, wouldn't it be cool if Cisco got HOTM. And viola! Congratulations, King Cisco! Not much to relate. We got some more rain last evening. It came through as a strong fast moving line of storms and there were several tornadoes around the area. We were okay, but I had to detour coming home from work due to downed power lines and trees. Poor Madison, who's scared to death of storms, was home by herself. All I could do was pray. She puts her headphones on and cranks the music up so she can't hear anything, lol. Well, off today but it'll probably be too wet to ride. Not complaining though. I'll enjoy them at feeding times. Hope you have a great thur and everybody gets treats to celebrate.

Congrats on HOTM!Hi Cisco, Congrats on HOTM! You and Mom so deserve this! You're gonna be an awesome King! Now go out and give out some squezzy buns to the girls to celebrate! See ya later tonight with a daily blog. Love ya, Marion and the blondes.
